Alia Bhatt has a busy calendar ahead, filled with shoots and releases. The actor, who was last seen in “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” and “Heart of Stone,” will next be seen in “Jigra,” co-starring Vedang Raina. In an exclusive interview with News18.com, Alia divulged a few details about the upcoming movie, directed by Vasan Bala.
“It is releasing on October 11, and what I can tell you about it is that it is releasing on October 11, 2024 (laughs). I had a wonderful time working with Vasan Bala. I have such fond memories of working with him, and we are still working on it because post-production is ongoing. He has got the perfect balance of cool and nostalgia,” the actress said.

Talking about working with Vasan Bala, she further said, “You’ll see so many Easter eggs in his films and in ‘Jigra’ as well. In fact, it used to be like a discovery for me every time I walked onto the set. He has this grounding, old-soul sort of quality, yet he is also so edgy and cool. As a filmmaker, the way he writes and thinks is amazing. I had a blast working with him.”
The film also marks her first collaboration with newbie Vedang Raina. When asked how it was working with the Archies actor, she said, “Vedang is just sublime. He plays my brother in the film. I am not going to say much about the relationship we share in the film, but I can definitely say that we had a very seamless, easy-going work relationship.”
Besides “Jigra,” Alia is also gearing up for an action-packed spy thriller with Yash Raj Films. The untitled project will see her join the emphatic spies of YRF. That is not all, she will soon begin shooting for “Love & War” with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, where she will reunite with her husband Ranbir Kapoor and “Raazi” co-actor Vicky Kaushal. The film will also see Ranbir and Bhansali come together 17 years after “Saawariya”.
